i am building sites with aurelia without a build system. there used to be a quick-start tutorial where you could just download an archive with aurelia ready to run. no serverside tools or build tools necessary at all. it even used to work loading the whole app via file://... back when browsers still trusted that. it no longer works only because of browser restrictions on using file://

the tutorial is gone, but the download still exists referenced here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39681911

the downside is that i don't know how to update this to newer versions or add extensions.

it might also be possible to create a new version of this using aurelia-cli, but i haven't yet figured out how.
